Hmmm....using this logic, I guess my '82 Rabbit diesel is a "real high HP"
car, since it will go about 75 in 4th, but will go about 88mph in 5th. It
doesn't have a tach, but it doesn't sound like it hits max rpm in either
gear.
Roadster content: My 2000 will pull to redline in 4th and 5th. I guess it
has real high HP too! <grin>
